Reactions of ions in aqueous solution (A-level only)

In a metal-aqua ion, how does a water molecule bond to the metal ion?

A

The metal lone pair donates into an empty oxygen orbital, forming a coordinate bond.

B

The hydrogen atom shares an electron with the metal ion, forming a covalent bond.

C

The oxygen lone pair donates into an empty metal orbital, forming a coordinate bond.

D

The oxygen atom transfers an electron to the metal ion, forming an ionic bond.
